STORYLINE:
People were seen scrambling for aid after trucks crossed over the Rafah border crossing in Gaza on Monday bringing much needed supplies.
With very little aid allowed into Gaza, Palestinians face severe shortages of food, water and other basic goods.
Israel says it tries to avoid harming civilians and blames their deaths on Hamas, saying it endangers residents by fighting in dense areas and positioning military infrastructure — including weapons, tunnels and rocket launchers — in or near civilian buildings.
Israel has urged people to flee to what it says are safe areas in the south — and the fighting in and around Khan Younis has pushed tens of thousands toward the town of Rafah and other areas along the border with Egypt.
But Israel has continued to strike alleged militant targets throughout the territory.
Associated Press reporters saw nine bodies brought to a local hospital on Monday after an airstrike hit a home in Rafah overnight.
